OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

Piscilineatus flasher from PIA. Amazing they are able to get so many! Sad that our LFS stop bringing in mauritius shipment.

Mauritius Gem tang. This fish will always remain the most expensive of all tangs.

In captivity the gem tangs tend to lose its spots and turn to stripes and become less nice, probably due to diet. V hard to keep the beautiful spots.

randall anthias do not come from the maldives.

they are pacific ocean species.

Ya my bad. Should be resplendent anthias and not randall anthias. I always mix up the two.

The fin is too yellow even for a resplendent anthias.

CHECK THIS OUT.

AT 2.06, LARGE HAREMS OF THE VERY RARE VERY AWESOME PSEUDANTHIAS REGALIS.

the video is blur but you can see tons of females (full yellow)

and a few males with intense purple body and yellow head.

this video is shot in nuku hiva, marquesas.

[Digiman]

Thanks for sharing these vids!

I love the cook island vids. THe helfrichi are the purple head variants, and they grow much bigger than the yellow head ones.

The anthias resembles P.Taeniatus from redsea but is obviously not. I remember there's a sp. closely related to taeniatus. The anthias book at CF featured it i remember. Will check it out next time i visit CF.

[yikai]

the privitera anthias video is shot in moorea, tahiti.

not cook island.

the helfrichi upon closer look is the yellow head one leh. u can see it in the 2nd helfrichi toward the end.

but i don't know why it's so big!

[yikai]

the unid anthias looks more like pseudanthias connelei but that's only found in africa

[Eniram]

Amazing shots of the watanabeis. Their tail fins are so long.

It is yellow head variant? I cant see the colors at all in the vid but can tell the size is v big.

It is not shot in cook? No wonder it looks so shallow. In cooks it should be found only much deeper.
